Sasse....a never Trumper.

Sasse....a never Trumper.

Sasse ... an "If I never do anything, I can't do anything wrong-er."

While watching some of Judge Kavanaugh's Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing when Sen. Sasse was questioning him, I'd be hard pressed to opine he wouldn't support him.

Sasse  is to the Right of Collins, Murkowski, Portman, Graham and a few others.  He is to the Left of most other Republicans, except John McCain.  They  reside on the same meridian.

On Sept 17th of this year he introduced 6 bills, all of which are good ideas, like closing the exemption Congress has of benefiting from insider trading.  After setting in on closed hearings with moguls of industry the sight of Congressmen phoning their brokers is common.  This is how Congressmen who have accumulated an average of $300K net worth after 15 years in the public sector suddenly become worth $4M after 2-4 years in Congress.

He chastised Republicans who voted for a repeal of Obamacare 15 months ago, which Obama vetoed, but voted against it after they had the voting power to pass it.

Those who voted against it are the classic RHINOS.

In another post I linked to an 11 min YT video in which Sasse lays out eloquently the primary problem that has plagued Congress for the last couple decades, leading to our present debacle.  It's worthy of another link:

Thanks a Whole Big Bunch, GG:

Ben Sasse was the only part I missed during the entire day, so your video posting has filled in that hole, and nicely.

As seen in the vid, he's exceptionally articulate.   And he has a clear understanding of the intended structure of the Federal government and the role of each branch within it.

I have other thoughts on Ben Sasse as well, but we have here a Firearms Forum, so I shall lay out those thoughts elsewhere.   Breitbart, maybe.

Thanks again.

That last video is must-watch TV for any kids wanting to know how the three branches are supposed to work. Sasse is a modern day Cicero and hopefully he fares better in his later years.    He’s going to run for POTUS I guarantee it.

If y’all haven’t read his book on the “vanishing American adult”, then you need to ASAP. One of the most brilliant and timely books of this decade.

He talks a lot but doesn't do anything.

Still miles ahead of whomever the other side fields, imho.  And don't forget, we have slim pickin's here in purple country.  That's always a factor.

And that, my friends, is why this state is purple.

Here is what Ben Sasse missed in that video, according to Robert Schwarzwalder.

I'd like a candidate that was more conservative too, but you'd have to admit in the last 40 years the pickens have been slim.  Ok, so who'd you prefer?  Ms. Raybould?

In other news about Sasse, he went on The View to promote some new book of his, and of course was harassed and harangued over his vote for Kavanaugh.  Why anyone would intentionally go on that show is beyond me.  I get that sometimes it's necessary to go into the lion's den, but willfully appearing on The Spew is akin to dousing yourself in animal fat, standing naked in front of the lion and daring it to eat you.  It's not a matter of if it will attack, but when.

And rather than just state that Ford's testimony wasn't credible and that's why he voted for Kavanaugh; he tried to virtue signal with the MeToo movement and defend his vote, by appealing to their compassion.

News flash Ben: they don't have any compassion, especially not for the likes of you.

Will republican never learn they can't make nice with leftists.
